    I did contemplate a paddle but I hadn’t brought a towel and didn’t fancy socks full of coral.

    Found a beach we couldn’t find last time we were up. Need to go back when the tides out. Dogs had a lovely walk

    Lovely photos. Hope it's recharging your batteries and that the detox is going well.

    Well weather wasn’t as predicted and not in our favour so stayed put today. Did a tiny weeny bit of work on the stocktake but nothing spectacular. Hopefully got a walk planned tomorrow if the weather gods are playing ball. If we go out won’t have breakfast but get something while we’re out. We’re currently only having 2 meals a day anyway.

    Detox was going ok. Had a naughty day on Monday as we were in the town, back on it yesterday but have succumbed to a couple of drinks tonight.
